“Cancer Survivor Reveals 12 Kitchen Items She’ll Never Use Again – Watch the Viral Video with Over 10 Million Views on Instagram!”
A video of a cancer survivor sharing the 12 items she will never use in her kitchen again has gone viral on Instagram, amassing over 10 million views. Susana Demore, a 42-year-old doctor of physical therapy from Houston, Texas, was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer at 35 weeks pregnant. This aggressive form of invasive breast cancer accounts for about 10-15 percent of all breast cancers, according to the American Cancer Society. After undergoing multiple rounds of chemotherapy, a lumpectomy, and a mastectomy with reconstruction preparation, Demore was given the all-clear in December 2022.
Today, Demore uses her platform (@onehealedmama) on Instagram to educate others about transforming their lifestyles, prioritizing health, and removing products containing harmful ingredients. She shared her journey of making lifestyle changes, including swapping personal care products, skincare, haircare, cleaning supplies, and laundry detergents, as well as making changes in her kitchen to prioritize health.
In a recent interview with Newsweek, Demore discussed the items she has eliminated from her kitchen and household. She emphasized the importance of reducing exposure to harmful chemicals found in everyday items. Nicole Deziel, a researcher at Yale Cancer Center and associate professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, highlighted the link between certain household products and health issues such as cancer, thyroid disease, obesity, and immune system effects.
Demore’s list of kitchen items she no longer uses includes nonstick baking sheets and pans, Fabuloso all-purpose cleaner, air fresheners, plastic cooking utensils, Tupperware, cutting boards, conventional sponges, cling film, AJAX cleaning products, and aluminum foil. Deziel explained the potential health risks associated with these items and recommended safer alternatives to minimize exposure to harmful chemicals.
While it’s impossible to avoid all exposures in modern society, making conscious choices in cookware and household products can help create a healthier environment and reduce the risk of cancer and other health issues. Experts also emphasize the role of genetics, physical activity, avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol, and protecting oneself from sun exposure in reducing the risk of cancer.
